Overview

Property Details

Updated: Feb 11, 2015

Apartment, 1 Bedroom + Other (See Description), 1 Bath, (Sleeps 2)

This spacious (nearly 1000 sf) apartment features a newly remodeled, well-equipped, gourmet kitchen. There is a cozy fireplace for chilly evenings. Lots of interesting books and art pieces to enjoy. Plenty of closet space. There is a private deck with a BBQ which looks into a quiet, leafy yard. This apartment is beautifully furnished and very comfortable.

There is a fabulous roof deck which has a panoramic view of the whole City. Magic at night, and lovely for a cup of coffee in the morning. The picture of Coit Tower was taken from this deck as were the other pictures of the City views. There are just 3 apartments so that the deck is often yours alone! Table and chairs at one end, chaises at the other. Come and enjoy with the City at your feet!

While the apartment is roomy, it is best for two adults. The upper deck, as well as the private rear deck are not completely safe for children.

Two flights up is a large common deck with protected seating to enjoy coffee or a glass of wine and a panoramic view of the whole City, with Coit Tower leaning over your shoulder! Lovely in the day, magic at night!

The best part is the location!! A great base to walk or catch public transportation anywhere. The top of our block are the stairs to Coit Tower. We are 1 1/2 blocks above Washington Square which is surrounded with restaurants. Walk one direction to Chinatown, the other to Fisherman's Wharf. Public transportation and cable cars are all nearby.

Keywords: Middle flat in 3-flat bldg. stairs, no elevator!, private deck, plus roof deck w/ pano view of City, fireplace, nice art, books, lots of good restaurants, just above North Beach with all its good restaurants, Fisherman's Wharf, Chinatown, lots of public transportation.

Stunning Views, Amazing Accomodations and Prime Location - Walkable to all you need!

My husband and I absolutely LOVED this VRBO! The owner was so helpful and incredibly accommodating. We could walk almost anywhere we wanted to go and public transportation was a hop, skip and a jump away if needed. The views are stunning and the rental was absolutely magical. We would highly recommend! :-)

About the Owner

I have lived in San Francisco for over 32 years. Now retired, my husband and I have a beach house north of the City. We still keep one of the flats in this building ourselves and have another furnished for visitors. We love this location!

Great Place to Stay

4 of 5

My wife and I visited San Francisco for our 1 year anniversary. This apartment was a great place to stay!

It was within walking distance to all the sights we were interested in seeing (e.g., coit tower, lombard street, fisherman's wharf, etc.). It was also close to transit, and a diverse array of restaurants.

Upon arriving at the apartment, we received a warm greeting from the main floor tenant, who showed us around the apartment and complex.

We immediately noticed that the apartment was neat and tidy after stepping in the door. We also noticed that the apartment was very spacious, and was lit up with tones of natural sunlight via the suite's bedroom and living room windows. The kitchen was easy to navigate, and all of their appliances worked as expected.

The rooftop patio offers great views of the city and bay, and a nice place to relax and soak up the California sun when it's not too windy.

The owners of the residence were easy to get a hold of, as they provided timely and informative responses to our email inquiries.

We noticed that the apartment was rented out all summer long, and we now know why! We would recommend this property to any of our friends/family members that are planning on traveling to San Fran.

Delightful apartment w great roof deck & location

5 of 5

Owner's description of this apartment very fair. The middle apartment of the three apartments in the building, the top two of which are rented and the bottom occupied by Dana, one of the building owners (very pleasant and helpful). Elizabeth, the primary contact absentee owner, very pleasant. On very steep hill just below Coit Tower. The decor is Eames era with lots of paintings and interesting furnishings and books. Nice well furnished kitchen. Lots of room. Large bedroom with tons of closet space sleeps two, and the couch in the living room converts into a bed which sleeps one or two more. We loved the roof deck (not safe for children) and watching the flocks of parrots fly by as well as the hummingbirds which were everywhere. Great views of the city and of Coit Tower from the roof deck. Free parking space is a plus but requires a mid size or smaller car (our VW Jetta barely fit it), confident parallel parking skills (you need to squeeze within a foot of a brick wall on the passenger side) and an assistant who can guide you into the confined space and out onto the street. Try to avoid doing it after dark. Car useful to get groceries at Safeway (free parking there) on Bay Street. Several bus lines have stops near Washington Park two blocks away. Free washer and drier a plus but they are old and the drier takes a long time. We loved both the apartment and the neighborhood and would be delighted to return in the future.

Great Location

4 of 5

Our stay here was very enjoyable. This is a very central location for many points of interest in the city. The views from the apartment's roof deck are terrific day and night, with a wonderful 360 degree panorama of the city skyline.

We learned that the hop-on, hop off bus tour stops at Washington Square Park, which is a three minute walk downhill from the apartment. A short walk in the opposite direction takes you to up to Coit Tower on Telegraph Hill, with lovely panoramic views of the city and bay. We walked to Lombard Street, Russian Hill and Fisherman's Wharf on different occasions - great physical workouts on the city's amazingly steep up and down streets.

The apartment is clean, quiet and well equipped. Free off street parking is a big plus. The owner is pleasant to work with and we would not hesitate to return here on another visit.

Amenities

From the Owner

“A visitor can walk anywhere, and not worry about a parking place! We can park a small car on the property at no charge. Lot is narrow so a small car is necessary. Lots of public transportation within 2 blocks!”
